Are swaps and commissions included in backtest?
Are swaps and commissions included in a backtest with the strategy tester in MT4? And with every broker? Here and on other forums some say yes some say no. My broker says they are not included...
What is the truth? And does it depend on the broker?
No it's not. A third party software needed to get that!
Don't know about all brokers, but every one I've used, the tester has simulated commission and/or swap.
However, do not count on OrderCommission and OrderSwap. Some brokers don't use those fields. (Maybe related to
Government required accounting/tax laws.)
